Britain’s oldest brewer, Shepherd Neame, has launched a limited edition ale to commemorate the 100th anniversary of its wooden Mash Tuns – the last remaining in Britain.
The brewery has been making beer at its historic site in the market town of Faversham, Kent, for more than 400 years. It still uses traditional methods – including brewing in a pair of solid oak tuns.

A new book offers an insight into the life of the first Neame to run the Shepherd Neame brewery. Percy Beale Neame and the Shepherd Neame Brewery, Faversham: 1836 - 1913 is the latest work by John Owen, archivist and historian at the Faversham-based brewery. It completes his trilogy of books unravelling the development of Shepherd Neame, which start in 1100 and end with this title in 1913.
